Random Spideypool Gifs part 4/???
I found this gem, and had to make a few gifs out of it.
remmick and the vampires present a false dichotomy
Hogwood (the man who sold the twins the mill) and the KKK are very obviously bad, they are outright malicious bigotry, they use the n-word and plan to lynch the moore's and their community, they are so blatantly racist and hateful it's unavoidably obvious
remmick and the vampires however say that they believe in equality, say that they want to create a community, and yet remmick's goal throught the movie is to both metaphorically and literally steal sammie's ability for his own goal of reconnecting with his irish ancestors, a white man wants to harm a young and upcoming black man and use talents for his own goals without giving any regard to said black man's autonomy or agency
when sammie sings 'I lied to you' in the juke joint and calls forth the spirits from the past and future, it's a blend of cultures; west african, east asian, native american, and african american song and dance blend together across time and space to tell the stories of blues; where it takes its inspiration from, the music genres it then inspired, the complex history of black american culture and its intersections with other peoples of colour in the USA
when remmick and the vampires kill and turn the people in the juke joint, and then perform rocky road to dublin, only remmick's irish culture is on display, there is no influence from the black and asian people he has forcibly assimilated into his song, it's juxtaposition with the earlier scene is blatant, remmick is more than happy to assimilate people of colour into his 'community' of 'equals', and yet its only whiteness that is celebrated, that is normative
remmick claims that he's doing people a favour by turning them immortal, conviently ignoring that he literally has to suck the life out of them to do so, trapping their spirits on earth, he claims that he's the good guy, that the KKK were gonna come and lynch everyone at the joint in the morning anyways, conviently ignoring that he's doing the exact same thing; a white man leading a mob to kill a bunch of black people
in the final confrontation with sammie remmick repeatedly dunks him into the river, a forceful baptism. both the celtic irish and enslaved west africans had their religions suppressed and destroyed by colonialsm, had christianity forced upon them by the british empire, and in that scene we see remmick repeating that cycle, using christianity to inflict harm, and sammie reclaiming christianity, despite all the complex emotions he has arround it, as many colonised peoples have and still do, when he recites the lord's prayer
remmick and the vampires are no less racist than hogwood and the KKK, are no less predatory or evil, they're just less blantant about their bigotry, they represent the system, the normalised white supremacy that is seeped into the very foundation of culture in america, the point isnt that remmick would call any of the black characters in the movie the n-word, i dont think he would, the point is that his exploitation and desacration and inserting-himself-into-when-he-wasn't-invited of the juke joint is a microcosm of what white people have done to black american arts and culture since ever since there have been black and white people in america, and even before that
theres a reason vultures are shown early on in this movie
Yall are really mad bc we wanna be included?
If readers on fanfic were brown skinned with thick hair by default, yall would be pressed than a mf. But when we calmly ask to be included, and make our own fanfiction for people like ourselves, we're entitled? Do you realize, giant apps like Wattpad have little to no fanfiction for poc? Imagine going through hundreds of fics, and seeing every single one of them describe the reader as your complete opposite. You'd probably get offended, or at least a little upset, right? So why is it an issue when we speak out about wanting more diversity in fanfiction?
Truth be told, if fanfiction were primarily written for poc, and white people made their own fanfiction and asked to be included, no one would bat an eye.
In short:
Izuku has rivalries, he has friends.
But Bakugou Katsuki is not just a rival, not just a friend, and not just a bully. Certainly, not just some childhood friend.
He is Izuku’s inspiration, the person closest to him who was put on a pedestal next to fucking All Might, Who was basically considered a god in the MHA universe before his retirement.
All Might asked Izuku to step into his shoes in the next Symbol- hewas ready to break his bones in the tournament to win
All Might said he always saves the people within his reach - Izuku nearly killed himself to secure Kouta and save Kacchan
All Might knows Izuku’s spirit and desperation is a fearsome thing. And Katsuki is threatened by it.
Izuku trying to save Kacchan…repeatedly, at the cost of his own damn life…
How he cried like his damn soul was ripped out of his body after Kacchan was taken away.
Tell me one more time that Izuku hates Katsuki, and I’ll show you a devotion beyond words.
But you know what? Katsuki is never going to do that because he is the one person who is intimately aware of everything Izuku can sacrifice in the name of devotion.
And I for one, am really thankful that Katsuki will never dare ask anything of him.
You can call it his Pride. I’ll call it his Fear.
Because the one thing Katsuki fears above everything else is ‘Izuku’s Spirit’
IF YOU TELL ME YOU ARE NOT SCREAMING YOU ARE A LIAR
I doubt I'll get around to a 600 Strike animatic in the near future, so this'll have to do for now.
"Waa why aren't fandoms fun anymore" because you keep policing people's headcanons, make fun of cosplayers,make fun of selfshipers, make fun of beginner artists and just make fun of people for having fun 😐

My favorite canon ship <3
By the way am I the only one who think Sebastian looks carved after Yunbastian? Maybe I’m forever doomed to see Sebastian Michaelis as Yunbastian probably, but hey, no sexiness is lost here
